Oh, man.

We need a nerd scouts. Where we can get a slight distance form the computers and under the presence of that hot orange orb in the sky.

Aaron can be the troop leader. And when he is eaten by bears, I will take over.

I didn’t get to be a girl scout either. I’m still sad. They got to glue macaroni on things.

My cousin is actually an exec of a Girl Scout Council. You could still be a girl scout you know. Maybe you could be the Scout Leader that some first grade class yearns for?

And I’d have a closeby cookie connection.

I was the damn leader for cub scouts!!! (for precisely the same reason-no one else wanted to do it). We sold candy bars tho.

Come to the UK and be a Scout Leader with my group. I am the Group Scout Leader for a group of nearly 80 boys ranging from 6 to 14 & a half. The leader team is a mixture of male and female so you would fit in fine and have a great time.

My niece is a brownie this year, and she’s selling cookies. Without really thinking it through, I agreed to be the point person for my family’s cookie order (Brother & fam live in CA, everyone else is in NJ). So in a few weeks I’m going to have something like 30 boxes of cookies arrive at my doorstep. That’s going to take some serious willpower.

In my day, I HATED selling cookies. And there was always that one girl in the troop who sold about a bazillion boxes, while I was struggling to hit 50 and get my participation patch.

I cannot wait for my fix!

I was the opposite–my mom was a girl scout and tried to organize my Daisy Scouts troop, but I rebelled and refused to participate!

I sort of got kicked out of Girl Scouts. My mom found out the troop leader was stealing money out of the troop account and confronted her about it, and the leader told her I wasn’t welcome at troop meetings anymore.

It was okay; I kind of hated Girl Scouts anyway. And where is your feminist landlord with all that? Because Girl Scouts is still all about teaching girls to cook and sew and whatever, and I find that a little too 1950s.

I made “thin Mints” for the Big Box Bookstore’s Christmas party. They were good. Many-a-complement for me. (it was a Martha recipe)

If you want to sell cookies, I’ll buy.
